Quadequina was the brother of Massasoit. On March 22, 1621 he
came with his brother to visit the Pilgrims, as he had done earlier in 1619 when
Captain Thomas Dermer visited. He watched Edward Winslow while the peace
negotiations between Bradford and Massasoit were taking place. He received
several gifts from the Pilgrims as well, similar to the gifts received by his
brother. After the peace agreement between Massasoit and Bradford was signed,
Quadequina payed a visit to the Pilgrim village himself. He was a little more
fearful of the Pilgrims, and especially of their guns. The Pilgrims described
him as follows: "He was a very proper young man, of a very
modest and seemly countenance, and he did kindly like of our entertainment, so
we conveyed him likewise as we did the king [Massasoit]."
